The Women of Artemis

A Novel

By: Hannah Lynn

Narrated by: Frances Butt

Mothers. Daughters. Warriors. Women.

This is the never-before-told story of history's most ferocious heroines: this is the rise of the Amazons.

When she first married at fourteen, Otrera imagined a relationship full of love. A partnership. Years later, living in destitution with her abusive husband, she knows that no such thing exists with a man. It is simply a woman's lot in life to accept the treatment of her husband.

Until it's not.

Rallying the women around her, Otrera fights back, taking no prisoners. Because it's clear to her: when men are in power, freedom isn't granted. It's bought with blood. It's a price she is more than willing to pay, if it means building a new life with other women far from the reaches of their abusers.

But a community of women—an army of women—is bound to make enemies of gods and men alike.

This is the story of Otrera and the first Amazons.

Felt like a true story, not a retelling

Wow. What a powerful story, filled with so many strong women. I really enjoyed getting litter pieces of how the Gods were revered as well as the history of them. This story was so complete, it feels like it is a true story! I can tell the author absolutely did quite a bit of research and it shows!

Definitely recommend this book!
